whose community is it anyway?
With a new perspective on planning and the built environment, where local communities will be writing the plans for their neighbourhoods and developers will have to start building what those communities want, three leading thinkers discuss who owns neighbourhoods and what they value. How will local politicians react to changing power relationships, the importance of memory and emotion in planning, communities as developers and development partners and funders? These are just a few of the issues all the stakeholders and participants will have to understand in the new order of things.
Host: Chris Brown, CEO, Igloo Regeneration, director Isis Waterside Regeneration, and the Home Group housing association, a former chair of the RICS Regeneration panel, a CABE Regional Design Ambassador and a member of the Princes Foundation projects panel
